A personal blog about my life, food, and fitness

Happy Saturday and Happy almost Christmas/Holiday everyone! First of all thank you for your kind words on my last post regarding my friend’s situation.

Yesterday was a great day. I took a day off from work until Monday so I got to go to Kettlebell class at LBKC. Workout was great although I wish I should’ve picked heavier weight. I shouldn’t get chicken out, especially for my lower body. I think I know I could use 30lbs to do squats. For snatches I might have to wait until I perfecting the forms, especially my left arm.

For dinner we went to my in-laws place for celebrating Winter Solstice. It was a perfect timing because it was my Carb Nite 🙂

I had to sub some of the ingredients:
– Used hazelnut flour instead of almond flour
– Used coconut oil instead of butter
– Used 1/3 cup chopped cashews instead of dried cherries

The first half batch was a bit burnt and runny probably because I used 2 extra large eggs and I turned up the heat a bit too high.

But the 2nd half came out beautifully after I added 2 tsp coconut flour!

After I got home, I had another small piece of Japanese yam and finished the remaining kettlecorn that I got last week. It would be a perfect Carb Nite if I didn’t force myself to drink tons of water after the popcorn. That made my stomach very bloated I felt like it would explode anytime soon. Sadly I didn’t get a chance to enjoy my chocolate Haagen-Daz ice cream.

But this morning after I got up, I felt light and not bloated! I felt very energized doing my workout. On my previous Carb Nite, I would feel a bit heavy the next day and didn’t feel much hunger. But today, I felt light and I could eat as usual. Maybe not as much but I felt hunger in between meals.

I’m so excited this week because I will get to go to Kettlebell class tomorrow AND Monday! I’m planning to do rowing as my HIIT cardio after the actual workout and I promise myself to start using heavier KB if the exercise isn’t new to me!

This all looks yummy! What kind of noodles were they? And I bet not having the ice cream made for a lighter tummy in the AM. I also get very thirsty on CN with all the carbs. I usually drink my water right before I go to bed so I can get my last treat in without feeling too bad!!

I think those are fish noodles (made from ground fish, tapioca starch some water and salt). I don’t know exactly the ingredients but those are my best guesses. FIL isn’t keen on sharing his recipe haha…Last week I had some ice cream but only a small amount and next day I still felt light. I can’t eat much ice cream in one sitting anyway because it’s way too sweet for me.
